Dexter

[TintoTerra]

While I accept that this show will sometimes have silly, poorly-written elements that I need to sit and grit my teeth through, the last episode was the most ridiculous thing I've seen in years. After the previous (and best imo) season I thought it was going to get better. But now I feel like all the drama has leaked out and the only entertainment I'm getting is tittering like a child every time Batista tries to pronounce the letter 'R'. "We gotta catch Fweebo!" lolollol.... sigh...

I once thought Deb was a hottie too. Now she looks like Axl Rose.

I also miss the crazy British chick. I loved her ****.

One thing that really pissed me off was when that crazy ***** was going to kill the ****** guy under the bridge. It didn't make sense. It makes sense to look for him as a possible suspect in her **** because he was Boyd's cellmate. But then we hit a roadblock that goes unexplained...

If she saw her ******, then she would know it wasn't him when she went to shoot him. If she didn't see the ******, then how was she able to identify him from a distance to shoot at?


To add to the "this season isn't great" trend ITT, I've noticed myself looking at the clock halfway through an episode and thinking, "****, this is only halfway over?"

Deb has always been gross - too boyish.

Poor man's Mr. T, imo. Always comically scowling with his lips pursed.

What coincidence? That she recognized the guy without ever getting a really good look at him before? I don't think that's hard to believe.

Now the absolute absurdity of the cops waiting 45 minutes before moving into the scene of a shooting, that was something...

Exactly. He was awesome.

He was pretty awesome. The fact that Quinn is now onto him and it's following a similar story path bothers me. Quinn isn't in the same league as Doakes.

No, he isn't, and that's a major problem with the show right now. They're trying to make Quinn into Doakes, but its failing spectacularly. Even RoboCop can't help this storyline out.

No- the guy in his trunk ending up at the murder scene and them believing that. Not to mention that the guy, who Dexter was believing, grabs a cell phone and calls not the cops, but another guy, and says IT'S ******* HER KILL THAT **** because they've been out of the room for 5 seconds. I mean, who the **** does that? Horrible writing.

 

[Ataturk]

If he was a serial ******, part of kidnapping ring and all that, and a woman shot him because she thought he was--I can understand why he wouldn't call the cops. Pretty good chance he'd end up on the dock. Not to mention that he was married and picking up some girl in a bar.

 

[Eason]

Okay, but he might want to blow his cover in a ridiculous, obvious and needless way.

I'm a season behind, but did Rita get a boob job?
